1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes’ [those who come from pilgrimage or fight].
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean Spirit [Ruach],
3 Who had [his] dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:
4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any [man] tame him.
5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.
6 But when he saw Yeshua [God is Salvation] afar off, he ran and worshipped him,
7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with youi, Yeshua [God is Salvation], [youi] Son of the most high God-Theos? I adjure youi by God-Theos, that youi torment me not.
8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, [youi] unclean Spirit [Ruach].
9 And he asked him, What [is] youri name? And he answered, saying, My name [is] Legion: for we are many.
10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.
11 Now there was there near unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the demons besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And forthwith Yeshua [God is Salvation] gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told [it] in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
